Hon Secretary’s Desk…..

Secretary desk…

Winds of change.

 

It gives great joy to write this editorial, early in the month for a change. Finally  the first leg, that too, an important one of the battle against corruption has been won. The parliament was forced to bend against Shri Anna Hazare & a resolution passed to frame a strong Jan Lokpal bill. After this, I feel, there is a lot of hope for our fellow countrymen.

 

With the festivities in full swing, we have had an excellent Ganeshotsav. People celebrated the event with great fervor & an ever increasing knowledge about eco-friendly idols of Ganesha.

 

In association with Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad, we had a wonderful programme on the 28^th August on “Transplant Update”.

 

4^th September was a lovely evening where we felicitated Doctor Teachers’ who have shown eminence in their fields. This was followed by the Medical Education Scholarship programme & a heartwarming Ghazal Evening by Arnav Chatterjee & his group.

 

The fact that the importance of IMA – Mumbai West is growing by leaps & bounds and has gone beyond boundaries was well highlighted by the International conference on Pulmonary Rehabilitation which took place on 09^th September 2011 at our premise. My sincere thanks to  Dr. Sanjeev Mehta & Dr. Agam Vora who framed this programme on COPD with astounding success. We have also had our follow-up camp at Patkar College which was conducted by  Dr. Navin Chatwani where 48 people who were ailing from Asthma were examined and treated.

 

 

Preparations for our international conference tour are now in full swing with a record 64 registrations.

 

We are now looking forward to AMSCON which will be held on our premise on 25^th September on account of World Heart Day. Not to forget the lovely chocolates which we will be feasting on as part of our Women’s Wing Programme on Saturday, 17^th September 2011.

 

Till then

 

( “da-svee-da-nee-ye – Good bye friends)
